Conan's Corpse Picker

There was no Uzo around.

There is no message from Wu Zuo on the phone.

——The other party doesn't seem to be nearby, or is watching secretly, but has no intention of stopping his investigation.

Okiya Subaru hesitated for a while, but finally couldn't help but stepped on the tram, ready to go to the shopping mall to check the situation.

... This matter is directly related to his current and future actions.

——As a member of a peripheral organization longing for peace and longevity, Okiya Subaru does not want to accidentally block the way of his colleagues and mess up the tasks assigned by his superiors, nor does he want to misjudge Jiang Xia's identity and think that the other party When he was in the same camp as himself, he suddenly received a righteous backstab.

But now, even if Jiang Xia is really Uzuo's subordinate, she is only curious about the identity of her peers, not Uzuo. Even if her whereabouts are exposed, it shouldn't be a big problem... right?

Although this kind of question may also be asked directly.

But Okiya Subaru thought about it, but he didn't dare to send such an inquiry email to Uzo.

He always felt that there were some similarities between Uzo and his terrible professors—they didn't like subordinates who didn't use their own brains and only asked "why why" and "what to do" at the first time... This point can be seen from the fact that Wu Zuo first asked him what plan he had when teaching him the day before yesterday, and then slowly revealed his own plan.

So now, as expected, check it yourself first.

While thinking, Okiya Subaru embarked on the road of seeking proof nervously.

……

After a few 10 minutes.

Watanuki Yoshiichi's villa.

Mianguanyi took a telescope and observed carefully for a long time.

After confirming that there was no suspicious person around, he turned around and went down to the first floor, took his coat, and prepared to go out.

——Today was originally the day when Watanuki Yoshiichi went to the hospital for a routine checkup.

According to the plan, he should have left long ago.But before, those two messy and troublesome guests made Yoshiichi Mianguan vigilant and dared not leave the house.

After the group of people left for a while, Yoshiichi Mianguan calmed down a little, picked up the binoculars and went up to the top floor, continued to wait and see, and at the same time wondered whether he should go out for a medical examination today.

While struggling, his home phone rang.

It was "the front desk of the Central Hospital" who called. The hospital seemed to have discovered his pigeon behavior and called to remind him.

As soon as Mianguanyi was urged to be a little irritable, he hung up the phone angrily without listening carefully.

But after such a small episode, plus the fact that he was surprised by Koda Masao's slamming on the door before, I don't know if it's real or an illusion, Yoshiichi Watanuki always feels that his heart with some problems is even more uncomfortable , It is indeed necessary to go to the hospital.

Watanuki touched his chin, and recalled those children who looked very timid, Okiya Subaru, who looked like a cultural person, who should not dare to sneak into other people's construction sites after being exposed, and who seemed to be very law-abiding , Will stop Masao Koda's detective, I don't think it's a big problem.

Moreover, even if Koda Masao really sneaked in while he was not at home...

As soon as Mian Guanyi opened the door of the house, he walked out of the courtyard.

When passing by the yard, he turned his head, glanced at the flat lawn in his yard, and showed a sneer.

...Even if Masao Koda came in, he couldn't find what he wanted.

Watanuki Yoshiichi thought about locking the door and heading to the hospital.

……

At the same time, in the shadows, a pair of eyes stared at the back of Yoshiichi Mianguan who left.

After seeing him really leave.

Masao Koda, who was secretly observing, heaved a sigh of relief.

Just now, when he pretended to be a stranger's voice in the phone booth and called Yoshiichi Watanuki, Masao Koda was actually a little nervous.

But now it seems that everything has gone smoothly—a person like Yoshihito Mianguan who is afraid of death will never miss the necessary inspection.

Then next...

After Yoshiichi Watanuki disappeared around the corner, Masao Koda started the motorcycle under his crotch and drove away in a hurry, ready to act according to his plan.

……

Police Department.

"Well, there are only the last two left."

Gao Mushe sat across from Jiang Xia, flipped through several transcripts, and showed a tired business smile.

Chapter 781 How many acquaintances do you have

Among a group of policemen, Miwako Sato was outstanding in terms of force and brainpower, and she was really busy.

Therefore, small things like taking notes are usually entrusted to others, such as Takagi Shepherd, a hard-working tool man who moves wherever it is needed.

Police Officer Takagi couldn’t help showing a bitter smile when he first heard that “a detective is coming to make up the transcript”—it is not an easy job for detectives to make up many copies of a transcript.

Later, when he heard that it was "Jiangxia" who came, Gao Mushe felt a little more relaxed.

——In Jiang Xia's transcript, although it is often necessary to make some simple modifications to the conditions of the prisoners when they were arrested.But in general, this is a good kid who doesn't procrastinate, and the transcripts are usually made on the spot, and he even likes to run to the police station, so he can't save much.

……

However, wait until the actual recording begins.

Takagi looked at the accumulated documents and fell into deep thought: "..."

... When did Jiang Xia start to procrastinate.

...Have you finally been dyed by the detective's big dye vat?Next, is Jiang Xia going to rummage around the scene of the crime and snatch the command?

Thinking of this, Gao Mushe couldn't help showing a look of regret, and even secretly condemned the detective around Jiang Xia—a good young detective who suddenly became like this must have been led to ruin by those careless seniors...

……

When the accumulated transcripts were finally coming to an end, Hui Yuanai, a habitual night-staying criminal, had already fallen asleep beside him.

Conan was very energetic. After finishing the transcripts related to himself, he started to search around in the first class, trying to see if there were any other suspicious cases——while Jiang Xia was still busy, he quickly broke it, and experienced it that he had almost forgotten. The fun of solving puzzles.

……

The transcript is slowly being completed.

In the end, Jiang Xia signed the records that had already been closed and he had lost interest, and couldn't help yawning boredly.

... At first, he really liked to run to the Metropolitan Police Department when he had nothing to do, trying to catch some ghosts and murderous spirits that the police didn't need in order to avoid waste.

But later, as he got to know more and more people and encountered more and more cases... Jiang Xia gradually discovered that the efficiency of coming to the police station to pick up leaks is actually not high.

——If you think about it carefully, when an attempted criminal is arrested, the murderous intent usually falls on the spot.And if the case is completed, it is now popular to solve the case on the spot. Once the case is solved, the shikigami will rarely persist to the police station, and usually disappear on the spot...

The price/performance ratio is not high, and the frequency of Jiang Xia's visits has gradually decreased a lot.

Although he still came every few days to see if there were any difficult cases.

But when he was busy, the action sequence of "coming to the Metropolitan Police Department to pick up leaks" was greatly reduced.

For example, this time, Jiang Xia has been procrastinating not coming to the Metropolitan Police Department due to business trips and the addition of new subordinates.Adding up several cases before and after, I have been busy for a long time.

Fortunately, the transcript is finally over now, and we can continue to deal with the case in front of us...

Jiang Xia sighed, and secretly reviewed the dangers of procrastination in her heart, and decided to come to the police station a few more times in the future.It's really tiring to do a bunch of work together.

He got up to say goodbye.

This time, no one stopped him.

However, just took the two children to the gate of the Metropolitan Police Department.

Miwako Sato suddenly ran after him like a gust of wind, and patted him as he passed by.

"I just received a report of a robbery next door, and you may be interested." Police Officer Sato said in a low voice, "The one that was robbed was a jewelry store. One of our colleagues happened to be patrolling nearby, so we went to the store to see the robbery first." Surveillance video at that time—according to him, the prisoner who robbed with a gun in the picture is very similar to Masao Koda.”

……

The entrustment under investigation is related to the case received by the police.

As a detective who is slowly digging for clues, he should come and see everything.

Jiang Xia quickly arrived at the scene of the robbery in a police car.

When I arrived at the jewelry store, I was going to go to the back office to check the surveillance playback.

However, as soon as they stepped into the store door, a beautiful shadow suddenly swished through the space, trotting all the way from behind the counter to their eyes.

Miwako Sato was taken aback, looked up suspiciously, and found that it was a young woman dressed luxuriously.

Sato felt that this person looked familiar. She looked at the woman, and then at the introduction wall in the store - the history of the store and the information of the store manager were posted on the wall, with a photo attached.

In the photo, a woman is leaning gracefully on a wooden chair with beautiful patterns, she folds her hands and looks at the camera, with a graceful puppet cat lying on her shoulder.

Miwako Sato looked back and forth twice, and matched the number of people.

——The woman who ran towards them was the manager of this jewelry store, Chihiro Kojima.

...[-]% of the victims come to tell their losses, and then ask them to bring the criminals to justice as soon as possible.

Thinking of this, Miwako Sato was about to skillfully comfort the terrified victim.

However, before she could speak, the other party passed by her, the leading police officer, and snuggled into Jiang Xia's arms precisely.

Kojima Chihiro lifted up the small handkerchief, wiped away the tears that did not exist in the corner of her eyes, and cried out: "That man suddenly came in with a gun, smashed the counter, grabbed the gems and left. He wanted to stop him, but he was afraid of being caught." He shot him to death...it scared me to death, woo woo woo, luckily you are here..."

"..." The two shop assistants huddled in the corner, watching this scene, not daring to speak.

They remembered that more than ten minutes ago, when the robbers had just started to rob, the store manager Kojima rushed out of the office aggressively with an explosion-proof shield in one hand and a decorative shotgun usually hung on the wall in the other—if it wasn’t for her Unfortunately, I was wearing a long skirt that dragged the floor. When I opened the door, I accidentally stepped on the skirt and tripped to the ground, leaving time for the robbers to escape... Now, the police may not be dealing with the robbery, but the scene of the shootout up.

Even just 1 minute ago, the store manager Kojima was still angrily slapping the table, yelling that the robber would pay the price.

Unexpectedly, now, she suddenly becomes weak and the pear blossoms are raining... Could this be some kind of tactic to improve the efficiency of the police?Indeed, when the store manager cried like this, the forehead of the female police officer who led the team next to him twitched several times, and his fighting spirit seemed to have been greatly improved...

……

Kojima Chihiro leaned against Jiang Xia, halfway through.

A hand stretched out from behind, ruthlessly lifted her up and stood up straight.

Miwako Sato patted her on the shoulder with both hands: "It's a pity that this happened, but please cheer up. And I heard that the suspect was clearly photographed. A large-scale search requires manpower. You can't cry to a detective." To solve the problem... let's take us to confirm the monitoring first."

Kojima Chihiro: "..."
